Grief

It took two years for this zine finally to hit print. Sema and Agatha began writing and drawing in 2012 after a close friend of their died in a car crash. After graduating high school, they backed away from the work, but ultimately were brought back together after another friend was incarcerated. The work includes a variety of prose, photography, and drawing. It is an ode to people, spoken through memories of their deceased friend and other lost acquaintances.

The 72 poems in this collection explore what it means to be human. Using carefully-crafted language, Cherry writes with the clarity of a journalist and the sensitivity of a woman.

This zine spans two years of the author's life, age 21 to 23, and she explains it as follows: "This zine is a disorganized hodge-podge of my last years in college, and my first months of post-grad. Like my last issue, there are tons of references to coffee, Harry Potter, and not showering. But I bookended this round with two comics about my mom."
